About
The museum Haus der Kunst doesn't dispose of its own collection but hosts exhibitions devoted to international modern and contemporary art. In this field the museum enjoys an outstanding reputation worldwide and the fact that it is undergoing a constant change provides great opportunity for regular visits.
The building is one of Munich's landmarks and is worth a visit for itself. The construction of the monumental neoclassical building started at the very beginning of the Nazi dictatorship in 1933 and the museum was opened in 1937 as the main exhibition building of the German Reich. In recent years, there has been a more intensive examination of the building's past during the dark times of national socialism, and structural changes made after the Second World War have been partially dismantled to bring back the building's original structure. Tip: go to "Goldene Bar" for coffee or lunch after your visit - it's located on the rear side of the museum. During summer you can sit outside on the large terrace with views of Englischer Garten.
